Saint Peters led by five points early in the first half, but the squad ended
up shooting just 9-of-25 from the floor and 2-of-10 beyond the arc over the
first 20 minutes of action which allowed Rutgers to come back and tie the
contest at the break, 22-22.

In the second half Saint Peter's connected on a much more impressive 56.5
percent from the floor as they captured the stunning victory.

The Scarlet Knights, who won the battle of the board 43-22, hurt themselves
with 18 turnovers on the night.

The Peacocks, who trailed in the all-time series with Rutgers by a count of
11-2, struggled mightily last season as they won a total of just five
games in 31 opportunities. The last victory for the Peacocks over Rutgers was
a 65-58 decision at home five years ago.
